SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. – Greenacres Park in Spokane Valley officially reopened with some brand new additions.
The park now features a larger playground with new equipment and a bigger splash pad. Dozens of families packed the park Friday morning for its grand reopening.
Greenacres now has new basketball and pickleball courts, with a new mini soccer pitch on the way courtesy of a donation from the Seattle Sounders.
John Bottelli, Parks and Recreation Director for the City of Spokane Valley, said the athletic opportunities are among the most exciting aspects of the project.
“I think the opportunity for more athletics in the park is one of the most exciting things about the project. Really, the opportunity for this to become soccer central out here in Greenacres. These turf areas are large enough to line them for soccer fields,” Bottelli said.
Bottelli is hopeful the park will become a hub for youth sports.
The park also has space for a community garden. The city will be announcing how to get your spot in the garden soon.
